Whenever they shoot a conspirator in Russia, two others bob up. It is good straiegy in closing a busi- ness deal to let your prospective customer beat you at golf. Travelers find that human nature is pretty much the same the world over, though the nuances differ. Sometimes we think there are few things as serious as a funny man, and few things as funny as a serious one. The only worry an old maid has is— a man.—Times-Union. What has she to worry about, she is perfectly safe. Some time after marriage, the bride discovers that the “best man” at her wed- ding was not the man she married. A Wisconsin school] will try the ex- periment of doing away with books. If it works, the U. S. Treasury might adopt the idea, When a boy was arraigned in London for murdering his parents, his lawyer ask- ed leniency because his client was an or- phan, Baseball must have existed in Shakes- peare’s time for in Troilus and Cressida we come across this line: “A hit, a pal- pable hit.” In the course of time, nations may learn that selfishness, as a national sin, can be as disastrous to nations as it is to individuals. When some people say’that what they want is congenial work, the truth of the matter is they want to loaf at the expense of someone else. We read that scenario writers are keenly on the alert for new ideas. Pos- sibly some day one of them may get an idea for a new plot. Grover Cleveland once expressed the quaint idea that “public officers are ser- vants of the people.” What would he think of our present-day bureaucrats? A new novel is called “The Good Die Poor.” If that were true, the great ma- jority of us would be good. But we still] think human nature is as prone to evil as! ever, and that most of us are sinners.

Inasmuch as_ British amount to nearly one-fifth of world buy- ing it will be a distinct forward step if that nation works with the United States | in common purpose, American imports, amounting to 11 per cent of world imports, are being grad- | of the} ually broadened as_ the United States begin to comprehend - the truth about our world relationship. Grad- ually, we are learning that the people of the world cannot buy from us unless they are able, in return, to sell to us. While one nation may not exactly even its im- ports and exports in ‘trading with any other the balance is effected in total trade, There are many nations that must ac- complish a close balance if they buy abroad. This does not apply to the United States, which has become a great creditor nation, with huge investments in foreign lands. It does apply to many _ smaller countries which have to shape their na- tional and international economy in accord- ance with their ability to secure inter- national exchange. This can be had for goid, through the sale of goods or the ren- dering of service. The cause of peace, as has been said before, can be served intelligently by the development of commercial interests _be- tween the nations of the world on a basis of equality to all. Peace cannot be per- manent when nations seek desperately to take advantage of others and‘ through the use of force to obtain unfair economic gains. Moreover, the great nations which have run ahead of the rest of the world in material things must evince some wil- lingness to let others have, an opportunity to do for their people what. has been done in the fortunate lands. Peace has its price and those who desire peace must be willing to pay the necessary price. If we are not, then we must be ready to give battle. The backward peoples of the world, the so- called have-not nations and countries di criminated against will not willingly ac- cept forever an unequal status. They will probably go to war before making per- manent what they consider injustice but just as surely they will prefer to secure their advancement through peaceful meth- ods if there is any promise that peaceful methods will obtain justice. A policy of isolation, such as that ad- vocated by many people in the United States, will in the long run produce en- mities that will lead to conflict. In addi- tion, it will dislocate domestics economy, leading to permanent regulation of pro- people duction and the eventual regimentation of | every- | in} America but we will have them unless we | the. activity of men and women where. We do not want these evils are sensible enough to logically develop and follow another course. TOO MUCH CRIME The Anti-Saloon League disputes the | contention of the Distilled Spirits Institute that “prohibition repeal has liquor organizatidn, There ig little neéd for a prolonged argument. | The truth of the matter is that there is too much crime in the United States today, whether the amount of crime is greater or less'than it was in previous ; years. Another viewpoint the study of alcoho taken by two memb by under- Harvard ain WPA collected from is presen recently of the Medical School, assisted by cert. workers, whose data was the Boston City Hospital, This study con- cludes with the report that alcoholism mounted during prohibition and increase after repeal.
